I'd say annoyed is a more appropriate term than crazy. lol Mostly, I hate seeing poor spelling on headlines in newspapers, titles in newscasts, or in the scrawl along the top or bottom of a television channel. Casual mistakes online or in emails don't bother me a bit, and I'm getting used to the shorthand most people employ when texting even though I still type everything out. I'm a troglodyte.

I get very annoyed when I hear "I" (constantly on TV), when the correct word is "me". I believe people think they sound more intelligent saying "I", but it only proves that they are not. It happens all the time on reality shows.

So nobody else sneezes when they look at the sun?

Nope. Just go blind like everyone else.


Nanajoyx2: Yeah, that one does get I, er, me.

I have year round allergies. I sneeze when I wake up, when going to bed. I sneeze inside, outside, winter, summer, fall, spring. I sneeze when in the shower, when putting on makeup, when my hands are full of breakables, and when trying to keep quiet in the background when my son's on an xbox party ... but nope, I can't say I've ever sneezed when I look at the sun.

Question:
Why would someone who's photo-allergic love going to the sunshine state so much?

One of my dear friends sneezes when she has anything minty!

I had the craziest thing happen at work today. A buddy of mine who works for us(and is a OKW owner and big WDW fan) and me were putting a mirror up for an older gentleman and he had his TV on with a music channel. Here we are, mirror in hand and the song that Miss Piggy sings in MuppetVision 3D comes on. I look at David, all excited and proceed to say thats Miss Piggys song, he smiles and the fellow looks at me like Im some kind of nut So proceed to say I thought that was her song, didnt know it was a real song.

BTW, anyone know what the name of that song is?

Another new Groupie, wonderful! WELCOME hoosiermike! Congratulations on your new 'home'.

And congratulations to you too, sleepy (and luv) on your new home. Such an exciting time for you. Your big day will be here before you know it.

JT, the Miss Piggy song is Dream A Little Dream of Me by Ozzie Nelson. Mama Cass and various other artists have also recorded it. (thank you google!)

I have perfect pitch. Which, when someone hits the wrong note, it is almost painful!
How about you? Any hidden annoying talents?

Oh yes, and to keep it VWL related, I also love the Lodge.

Well, Muushka, like you I also have perfect pitch. When someone plays a piano or other instrument and hits a wrong note or it is out of tune, goose bumps go up and down my spine!!! It is a help for me on our praise team at church since I sing harmony and I can pick out the tunes I need with or without music.

And yes, I also love the Lodge!!!

We're closed and in the process of moving in. Fortunately, the "new" place is only a 5-minute walk away, so hauling stuff in my pickup will make it a cinch. . .as a move can be, anyway.

I've always had a gift for spelling and most things pertaining to grammar. No, I am not the grammar police. . .I just notice. As for Lodge related, I can hear the crickets chirping even when there aren't any.

A big congrats on the house! My DH and I built a new house when we got married. But he did offer to buy me a house in my hometown, I just knew he really wanted to build on his family property and I have never regretted it.

Now all I have to do is live through this kitchen remodel. . . . The electrician finished his part yesterday and the plumber is coming in the morning to do the rest of his work. Tuesday the countertops are coming!!!!! I am going to go tomorrow and talk to the company that I buy my appliances from and check out a new stove and talk to them about moving the refrigerators and a freezer around and save my DH's back.

I also join you in the spelling department. Several friends of mine hate it when I look at documents after they have proofed it several times and I still find errors!!!

Yes just as soon as it is complete. There is so much woodgrain in this room. . . it is so, I don't know how to describe it. I have always loved wood, my father loved to work with it on his lathe, I am really counting the days til it is finished.

Me!

Almost always 2 times - sometimes 3!


And the pitch thing too. By any chance did you watch The Voice? The do not point out pitchiness as often as they should - drives me crazy!

Nope, never saw The Voice. But if there is any chance they won't hit the notes....
